I'm not very eloquent at these types of things, but I'll do my best.
* How do you define straight up Science-Fiction (hard or soft)? Technology, Star Wars/Star Trek
* How do you define straight up Fantasy (urban or dark or high or anything)? Something with little to no tech at all.
*What themes or tropes do you find common in Science-Fiction that you think never appear in Fantasy? Alien sex >.>
*What themes or tropes do you find common in Fantasy that you think never appear in Science-Fiction? Magic did it.
*What do you believe a successful blending of the two would be? World of Warcraft or Harry Potter do it fairly well. And so do most comics.
*Do you think it's possible to blend them at all? Yeah.
*Are there any works of art (movies/books/tv shows/cartoons/oil paintings/sculptures/hair collections...) that you feel DO successfully blend the two? [Aka, show your work for extra points.] DC for examples has heroes and villans that use magic, but others use tech.
